Kitesurfing , Kiteboarding in Aruba
The fastest growing water sport in recent years, kite surfing. The kite scene is a very special one but just as many outdoor sports it's also about the 'stuff' and the thrill of the separation from the normal world
Worldwide Cabarete, Cumbuco, Hurghada, Isla Margarita, Fuerteventura are known for their ideal conditions.
Kite surfing in the Caribbean is growing fast and Aruba is one of the places to be.
History
Kite surfing is a Dutch invention. Back in the 19th century, kites were used to pull boats. In 1977 it was the Dutchman Bert Panhuis who used a kite to tow him standing upright on the water.
Eight years later two brothers designed a kite with inflatable sections so they were able to start right from the water.
The materials are still being developed and redesigned.
Around 1996 the kite surfing pioneering began, especially in southern France and in Hawaii. A year later, the first world championships held in Hawaii.
Structure
Before you hang high above the sea and make a great leap and make you already have made many meters exercising.
In Aruba, but also in the Netherlands or other kite surfing spots in the world schools offer so called packages. In three or four classes (a 1,5-2 hours) you make your first moves on the board. All material is included in the price and there are several people watch over you.
Most everywhere this is the procedure:
1st session:
Learn how to manage the kite and get the feeling of it.
2nd session:
Body dragging lesson. During this lesson let your body being dragged through the water hanging on the kite and learn various control elements.
3rd session:
Water starting lesson. Your first meters on the board.
Prices in Aruba are fair.
- Kite surf package (3 classes, a total of five hours kitesurfles) arround $ 350 - including equipment and boat.
- Rent kite surfing equipment: 2 hours about $ 100, - (incl. materials, boat).
Spots
